“On average social skills training programmes have reduced the number of children involved in crime by 32%” so says the Youth Endowment Fund. They go on to say
“Programmes had the largest impact when working with children around the age of 9 to 10.”
This portal therefore provides access to a series of social skills training programmes that are primarily designed to be delivered at Key stage 2.
